So just to be extra double clear about this, it is *possible* to run
a Tahoe-LAFS gateway on an embedded ARM system -- François has
contributed a buildbot that we use to test that -- but what the
Android client runs is *not* a Tahoe-LAFS gateway, but instead just
an HTTP client. Right, François?
So neither storage (which is provided by storage servers) nor
security (which is provided by Tahoe-LAFS gateways) is provided by
the Android device.
If you are confused about the difference between a Tahoe-LAFS gateway
and a Tahoe-LAFS client, please see this diagram:
